The new establishment, JAX, will open on Friday 30th for the first time in Princes Square - boasting a team of staff with plenty of cocktail experience.

As the finishing touches were being put on Glasgow's newest gin bar, Glasgow Live was invited in for a first look.

The new bar-eatery is chameleonesque in design - able to accommodate light bites and quick drinks, before transforming into a late night cocktail bar. With features ranging from a window snug to a DJ booth, JAX is designed to cater to the cosy and to the cool.

During the day, JAX will offer classy cocktails and delicious bites to everyone from couples shopping to business people out for lunch. Once the sun goes down, though, it will remain open late, giving people a chance to dance the night away or enjoy cocktails in an atmospheric venue.

Next to the new eatery, Eden Mill are also opening a gin shop and their Blendworks gin making classes. These will offer Glaswegians the chance to learn about the history of gin before creating their own unique flavours.

Tony Kelly, Co-Owner of Eden Mill, said he was excited to finally bring Eden Mill’s distinct gin flavours to the people of Glasgow.

He said: “We’re delighted to be opening Eden Mill’s first retail presence in Glasgow in such a stunning location. Princes Square is well known as a destination for people who enjoy shopping and relaxing, so I know that JAX and Blendworks will make that experience even better.”

JAX’s General Manager spoke to Glasgow Live about his excitement at the grand opening and just how skilled his new staff were.

He said: “The grand opening tomorrow is going to be absolutely amazing, the main focal point is going to be cocktails. We’ve got an eatery in here as well, so when you get hungry you can have that with your cocktail.

“Expect extravagance and expect our staff members to take care of you, get you seated and look after you through your whole experience.

“Our bar manager is absolutely incredible, probably the best cocktail bar man in the whole of Glasgow.”

Princes Square, Eden Mill’s and JAX’s new home, also welcomed the new store and restaurant, saying it was the perfect edition to the retail centre ahead of the big Christmas rush.

Katie Moody from Princes Square said: “Eden Mill is opening at the perfect time. Princes Square over the festive period is a must visit for everyone in Glasgow’s city centre and the opening of the new Eden Mill Blendworks experience and its first ever JAX bar will make their visit even more special.”
